Three Conditions, Then an Unwanted Fourth

The screwdriver tip seats cleanly in the upper slot. Beneath it, the middle opening stays black, and the lower cavity is stopped with rough ochre mud. Those three conditions are distinct before the statement explains them. Samira’s fist supplies pressure; the distant worker keeps the repair from collapsing into a hardware diagram.

The bee causes the only uncertainty. A second ochre lump below its body resembles another mudded position on the continuing vertical strip. It does not defeat the three-hole leaf, whose edge is clear, but it briefly offers a fourth circular item to anyone counting by rhythm rather than boundary.

That hesitation is useful and controlled enough. This is Commons-wall material.
